About You

You’re at the stage of your career where you have already gathered a good amount of work experience and spent about 5 years of your career with transformation / project management/ portfolio management. You have several years of experience in mid-to-large multi-national matrix-like organizations and/or in a consulting capacity for large corporations. However, you’re still eager to learn more and want to take that next step in your career. You are structured, methodical and with an eye for detail. You don’t shy away from ambiguity; you’re used to working in such an environment. However, you push for structure and process because you see the benefits of this long-term, but your personality is compromising and pragmatic enough to get the job at hand done.
